Skatole.

The compound in poop that makes poop smell like poop. But in small amounts it’s a fragrance and taste enhancer used in perfume and ice cream. Yummy.
Learned long ago but another head scratcher.
The same compound used to make road striping paint reflective is used to make mass produced hard candies hard.

almost forgot. It takes approximately 18 hours to reduce a pot of black beans pulled from the fridge and placed on the stove on low to warm, then forgotten, to be converted to an extremely rich, thick black pot liquor. I’m thinking I’m going to strain the bean skins and use it to cook a batch of dark red kidneys and pintos for a base to build a pot of chili on. When I make my favorite chili i start a day early and cook a batch of pintos down to nothing for my base, but I’m curious how it would do with black beans since they have sweet instead of hot peppers in them.

I like Black Beans best.
For beans and cornbread or over a bowl if rice, me too. They also make a fairly killer batch of refried beans, although I served them that way to my mom once and she was concerned about the “black goop” in the bowl on the table. I told her what it was, she tried it and was an instant convert. :D

You can't check in to inpatient alcohol rehab if you are sober, which struck me as extremely strange as the nurse explained it to me and the family I was assisting. We had to take the person to the parking lot and wait while they drank some cheap booze we bought at 7-11.

That all of them or just that one? Doesn't seem right to me. In fact, the person presenting him/herself sober is an indication of commitment.
